Robert Marc Jones (born November 5, 1971 in Wrexham, Wales) is a Welsh-born former England international footballer who made his name whilst he was with Liverpool.
Jones began his career with Crewe Alexandra, signing professional forms at the age of 17 on the 20 December 1988 when Crewe were in Division Four.
The right-back settled quickly, quietly going about his defensive duties until being spotted during the 1991–92 season , accidentally, by Liverpool manager Graeme Souness who was at Gresty Road looking at a different player. Jones' performance was so good that it prompted Souness to act straight away, he put in an offer of £300,000 which was accepted, so on the 4 October 1991, a month before his 20th birthday, he became a Liverpool player.
